| - This hotel is located near downtown Akron. The Hilton scores an immediate 1 star upgrade because they have a bar! It's also within walking distance to a couple a good restaurants Rockne's, the Winking Lizard and the legendary SKYWAY burgers.
Room Pros:
Comfortable bed! They have a coffee maker, good sized bathrooms, extra pillows in the closet, hairdryer, air conditioning, quick room service (full restaurant downstairs), clean, decent soaps/shampoos, and housekeeping does a nice job turning the room over.
Room Cons:
Our room had like a bullet hole in the window? I guess the "good thing" was the hole originated from inside the room (at least people are not randomly firing guns in NE Ohio). It was a small hole but strange nonetheless! So, instead of replacing the window they filled it in with a dark putty like substance...kind of like an "X marks the spot" for visiting hotel guests. Another strange thing was the continuous whistling noise that came from the bathroom. It never stopped. Just a constant yet soft windstorm inside the bathroom. Whatever, I'm headed to the bar anyway.
The staff was VERY nice. My GF seemed to lose everything (all of which were returned to FD by nice Ohioans) including her very special smart phone. A little freaked she expressed her concern with the FD hoping someone may have turned it in. At the time it was still MIA but when it was returned (thank goodness) the associate that she spoke to (her name LINDSEY no joke) went out of her way to track Lindsey P. down to get the phone back to her ASAP! This meant SO MUCH because we had taken a grip of wedding pics on that phone...thank you Hilton Lindsey!!
We also had an opportunity to eat and drink at the bar. The food was moderately priced and above average on the yummy scale for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have a hot-tub, indoor/outdoor pool, swanky outdoor dining area and is across the street from a mall if you get crazy bored.
Great value. If you're in the Akron/Fairlawn area this place is a solid place to call home.
I give this Hilton 7.5 "putty filled windows" out of 10.
